less for your private collection of curiosities.

An "Asiatic Limited" Train,

Boston Special.
President Charles Francis Adams, Of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, says that the vesti-
bule train of Pullman cars. which is now on ex-
hibiton here is to be used for transcontin en- tai
travel between Jersey City and San Francisco,
and will be known as the "Asiatic limited" It
is especially intended for Europeans journeying
to the East. 1t is proposed to sell coupon tickets
IN Paris and London for Toxic, Yokohama, Hong
Kong and Canton. The passenger will be
obliged to make only two changes of conveyance
between Liverpool or Havre and his Asiatic des-
sination, and before leaving Europe will have
state-rooms and seeping-car section assigned for
the entire trip. The transatlantic steamer will
land the traveller on a Jersey City wharf within
ten yards Of the train, which will take him in
just one hundred hours to the gang plank of the
Pacific Mail steamship in San Francisco The
stops in Jersey City and San Francisco will be
as brief as tho rapid handling of baggage and
mails can make them. The trip from London
to Yokohama or Canton can thus be made inside
of one month. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the "Asiatic limited will run weekly
